Yup. As long as the warranty hasn't expired you can buy Apple Care or Apple Care+.

I'd like to correct my earlier post. Apparently, while you can buy Apple Care as long as your warranty isn't expired, you can only buy Apple Care+ at the time of device purchase. That makes sense or else, there would be plenty of folks buying Apple Care+ after they've already broken their devices.

And that's different from someone choosing to buy (the old) Apple Care after they've already broken their devices how? Are you insinuating that it was/is fair to take advantage of such a "loophole" under the old Apple Care program but would have been unfair if it were still allowed under the Apple Care+ plan, hence the requirement that AC+ be purchased at the time of device purchase? Besides, the AC+ T&C has a section for "Accidental Damange from Handling" that states that coverage under the plan doesn't include willful damage/neglect, normal wear and tear, theft, etc., so Apple's covered even if one were to purchase AC+ some time after having purchased the device. Also--the ADH section states that Apple will cover only two such "accidents" under the plan, so if you accidentally break your phone a third time under AC+, you're out of luck.

If I recall correctly the Apple Care normal never had a clause for covering "accidental damage", so that is not an issue. AC+ does and Apple is covering all bases like a company should, besides how does one differentiate between having your phone fall out of you pocket and shattering and throwing it against something in a fit of rage? Accidental damage is subjective

There's no such "loophole" as the old Apple Care ﻿didn't cover accidental damage. The original Apple Care really just extends your warranty and usually, the only thing it's good for is battery replacement.
